Microsoft unveils Windows Phone 7 8

complexity?

"If Sinofsky is right, and Windows 8 does predate the iPad, then the situation is even worse than we thought: it has actually taken Microsoft a lot longer than Apple to get a tablet operating system built."

To be fair Windows 7/8 is in a slightly different league to iOS in terms of complexity and feature set so its fair that it takes longer to produce...?

information in the cloud?

If you look at how Lastpass actually works it only stores the encrypted data in the cloud. All encryption and decryption of your passwords happens on the local client.

Lastpass also take this kind of stuff seriously, you can use multifactor authentication to access your account (Yuibikey or they have even developed a "one time" password grid system). I use a hybrid system of lastpass and keepass. The advantage of having everything sync nicely arround my pc's is great (I use mesh to sync my keepass database).

Med-v allows central management of the XP environment rather than XP mode that is individual XP installs.

E.g with Med-v you can update the XP application on your main image, then all workstations will pick up the changes next time them turn on. You can also manage which users see what icons etc...

Group Policy preferences don't require the AGPM. You can do preferences from any Server 2008 or 2008 R2 machine & apply them to your enterprise...

WTF?

using GPS?

When using GPS you shouldn't get the "blue confidence circle" unless your zoomed right in (to full). Are you sure it had actually got a satellite fix?!

The normal process is to start with cellular & then fix some satellites...
